Goodnews Eyinjuoluwa Aina Wins ITF J30 Accra Girls’ Singles Week Two Title
Nigeria’s Goodnews Eyinjuoluwa Aina has won the Girls’ Singles title in Week Two of the ITF J30 Accra – Tennis Foundation Ghana Open after Ghana’s Gwendolyn Duvor Klu retired during Saturday’s final.
Aina was leading 7-5, 0-0 (15-0) when Klu was unable to continue, bringing the final to an early end at the National Tennis Centre in Accra.
The Nigerian had produced a strong performance in the opening set, edging Klu 7-5 in a closely fought contest before the Ghanaian retired at the start of the second set.
The victory sees Aina crowned the Week Two Girls’ Singles champion at the J30 Accra, part of the ITF World Tennis Junior Tour, which provides young players with valuable international ranking points and competitive experience.
Klu, who won the Girls’ Singles title in Week One, had been hoping to retain her crown on home soil after reaching a second consecutive final.
Her impressive run through the tournament further underlined her growing reputation on the junior circuit, but Aina held her nerve to claim the title.
The J30 Accra – Tennis Foundation Ghana Open is being organised by Tennis Foundation Ghana (TFG) in collaboration with the Ghana Tennis Federation.
The tournament has attracted junior players from Ghana, across Africa and beyond, giving them an opportunity to compete for ITF ranking points while gaining valuable international experience.
Aina’s victory adds to a successful second week of competition at the National Tennis Centre and highlights the importance of hosting ITF junior events in the region, allowing young players to gain international exposure without having to travel extensively overseas.
The J30 event is part of a six-week series of ITF World Tennis Junior Tour tournaments being staged in Accra by Tennis Foundation Ghana.
The tournament now moves into its next phase, with the J60 competition scheduled to begin on Monday, 14 September 2026, at the Accra Sports Stadium.
